Why Your Doctor's Nutrition Advice Is Probably Wrong (And It's Not Their Fault)

My coronary calcium scan came back with a score of 450—meaning 92% of people my age had less arterial plaque than I did. I'd been on a statin for twenty years, following every piece of medical advice to the letter. My cardiologist's response? I needed a stronger statin. That's when I stopped asking 'what's wrong with me' and started asking: What if the advice itself is wrong? What I discovered through investigative research will shock you: most doctors receive virtually no training in clinical nutrition, yet we trust them to guide our dietary choices. The result? Millions following medical advice that's not just ineffective—it's often counterproductive.
